The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Bronte Sisters: 'Trust me I will. I threaten mamma sometimes that I'll run away,
and disgrace the family by earning my own livelihood, if she
torments me any more; and then that frightens her a little. But I
will do it, in good earnest, if they don't mind.'
'Be quiet and patient a while,' said I, 'and better times will
come.'
Poor girl! I wish somebody that was worthy to possess her would
come and take her away - don't you, Frederick?

If the perusal of this letter filled me with dismay for Helen's
future life and mine, there was one great source of consolation:
